The purpose of this study is to develop a MRF-ASL reconstruction algorithm using deep learning (DeepMARS). Compared with the traditional dictionary matching, our DeepMARS achieved higher intra-class correlation (ICC) in B1 (0.971 vs 0.921) and BAT (0.926 vs 0.761), similar ICC in T1 (0.957 vs 0.964) and CBF (0.936 vs 0.948) in the reproducibility test with much shorter calculation time per voxel (0.368 ms vs 2.899 s), suggesting that our DeepMARS may be a better alternative than the conventional MR dictionary matching approach.
